Karthik Subbaraj Talks About Being Storywriter For 'Game Changer'!

Creative filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj who really burst onto the scene with 'Pizza' and 'Jigarthanda' was unable to reach the same level of success in recent times. Despite making big-ticket movies like 'Petta', 'Jagame Thantiram' and 'Mahaan', his work did not match the expectations of many. He showed glimpses of his brilliance in all these movies but was unable to manufacture a complete product in the end. He is now gearing up with 'Jigarthanda Double X' which features Lawrence and SJ Suryah in main roles.

The team is actively promoting the movie in Telugu too and Karthik Subbaraj talked about how he became the story writer for Shankar's upcoming film 'Game Changer'. He said, "Game Changer is a political story. I penned it even before Shankar sir approached me for a story. I told my team that only a big hero can pull off a powerful script like Game Changer. I didn't want to get into too much of politics. When Shankar sir asked, I told him that I have a story that everyone believes to be in Shankar sir's zone."

He adds, "Shankar sir liked the story. He penned the screenplay for the film, and I am very excited to see what Shankar sir did with the plot. Once, we had a discussion about a scene. Then I understood what elements he was adding and how he was making the film big and crowd-pleasing."

As we all know, Shankar is known for giving strong social messages while blending the required commercial aspects like songs, fights, romance and other elements seamlessly. He was the No. 1 director in South India for a long time. Also renowned for his grandeur, Shankar is now making 'Game Changer' with Charan and Dil Raju is the producer. It will be released in 2024. The first song 'Jaragandi' will be coming out on Diwali.
